NO MORE UNTITLED GIFT SHOWS

Shanus — Sun, 20 Nov 2016 15:28:28 GMT

I mostly watch my favorite Q shows on DVR. It's quite frustrating, over the next 5 weeks, to see endless hours of LATE NIGHT GIFTS, BLACK FRIDAY GIFTS, DAN'S FAVORITE GIFTS, SHAWN'S FAVORITE GIFTS...I will not be recording 18 hrs. of unspecified gift items....when would I have time to fast forward through them? I just skip all of them when going through the guide to record. I think you're missing the chance here to lump electronics, beauty, clothing, etc. together in a 3 hr. block of gift time & let us choose which shows we'd like to watch. It's pointless to mix Poo Pourri with IPads and jewelry items.

Once they start their holiday gift shows, they might as well loop the same show over and over and save themselves some money. Because it's the same products over, and over, and over, .....

@Shanus, I totally agree with you. I've been thinking about this in recent weeks (I'm not been well, so I have a lot of time on my hands...). There are enough products sold by QVC that they could very easily categorize shows: Gifts for the Cook (all kitchen items); gifts for the Honey-Do List Doer (leaf blowers, pressure washers, all the mechanical stuff); Gifts for the Home, and so on. There are so many possibilities. I would be more inclined to watch shows that I'm interested in than tuning into a mish-mash of hit-or-miss presentations and missing something I might consider buying.

I never watch untitled gift shows. Basically this means that from October through December I rarely watch QVC.

I agree with all of you. I'd venture to say that we have pretty much seen the offerings for this year and the title of the show is irrelevant. It's all the same stuff I didn't want last week. I won't want it next week either. For next year, put the old merchandise on a real clear out sale and offer something new please (not just 4 new colors).

If they'd videotaped their rotten generic gift shows five or six years ago they could've saved themselves a boatload of money by just going to the video for four to six weeks every fall... The shows are dreadful... I never watch them... Who wants to sit through hour after hour of that tedium on the off chance they'll actually present something new, interesting or desirable... amidst all the dreary, oft-repeated offerings...

I agree - I don't care for the "gift" programming either. That being said however sometimes - so much of the time - when I turn them on I do find something I can't live without.

Agree....which is why I completely stop watching QVC between October and January.

Programming and presentations are boring enough as it is -- I can't be bothered sitting through hours of "unknowns" to see maybe one or two products I may be interested in. It's a total waste of my time.

I agree, and don't watch these shows! If the Q can't be bothered to schedule the show ahead of time for THE CUSTOMER'S convenience, instead of theirs, then they won't get my money! Who makes these decisions upstairs in the boardroom?

I have one- Gifts for people with ADHD, or Gifts for people who are easily bored, or gifts for those who we irritate easily....

Oh, you know, I saw those on the schedule... Yep, they come on right after a marathon of Gifts for the Slow Witted... A show just for those who don't mind half hour presentations of the same ten items back to back. Best of all, it lasts most of the day and runs for several consecutive months...

These 'gifts' shows are really nothing more than the usual products shown all year long..or some variation of them. I quit watching gift years ago as they were almost always a disappointment.

@Gift Shows or so and so's Favorite Things @ the Q, I never watch. Instead of watching financials go continuously d-o-w-n, you would think they would catch on.

One show though I never miss at HSN is on Colleen's Favorite Cosmetics. Now that's worth watching. I do believe they actually are her favorite and what she uses. I usually find something she suggests.

High five, @AJW. Same here: if they don't care about me, I don't care about them!

So sad, @CalminHeart. We expect something new and different at Christmastime. Instead, they just walk through the warehouse & bring out the usual.

Can't wait until January, when they bring out NutriSystem, Marie's Body Gym, the Bodyblade and begin transitioning into Spring.
